A legal relationship in three phases
The Swiss–EU legal relationship evolved over time into a rather peculiar system.
Not being a Community member, Switzerland began already in the 1950s to conclude agreements with the then European Communities. This led to the present ‘bilateral‘ or ‘sectoral‘ law, which governs the legal relationship between Switzerland and the European Union. So far, there have been three phases of this development.
